Description: The Menninger Foundation began the Psychotherapy Research Project in 1954. This book is based on twenty years of accumulated data from that study, which was a longitudinal and prospective study of the processes and outcomes of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. That data is applied to understanding how change occurs in psychotherapy. The results in this volume are within the context of psychoanalytic theory and controlled by the assumptions inherent in psychoanalytic philosophy and its value system. The book is detailed and systematically organized, and the author presents the research design and clearly communicates its development, process, and outcomes.
Notes: Bibliography: p. 363-365.
